In Loving Memory of James Ausban Bullins

July 19, 1951 – October 1, 2025

James Ausban Bullins, beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, passed away peacefully on October 1, 2025, in Roseville, California, at the age of 74.

Born in Ohio on July 19, 1951, James lived a life marked by courage, resilience, and deep love for those around him. He proudly served his country as a combat infantryman, completing two tours in Vietnam. His bravery and dedication to service were defining aspects of his character.

Following his military service, James spent most of his career as a truck driver, with occasional work as a mechanic. He was known for his strong work ethic, resourcefulness, and generous spirit.

James found his greatest joy in spending time with family and friends. He was a devoted father to James Brauer, Joshua Bullins, Shannon Cordrey, Jacob Bullins, and Megan Kephart, as well a proud grandfather to five grandchildren: Andrew, Izabella, Isaac, Aurora, and Easton. He also had a lifelong passion for motorcycles and loved riding the open road.

James was preceded in death by his father Elmo Earl Bullins, mother Agnes Bullins, and brothers Kenneth Bullins and Earl Bullins Jr. He is survived by his sister Patricia Bullins Jordan, his five children, and his four grandchildren.

He will be remembered for his strength, kindness, and unwavering love. His legacy lives on in the lives he touched and the memories he leaves behind.

He will be deeply missed.
